L.A. Fashion Week Goes Green

IMG Fashion steps up for the environment
Friday, June 22, 2007

(LOS ANGELES) Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios announced Thursday that the twice-yearly event in Culver City, CA will be "greener" in October, with a focus on sustainability and eco-friendly fashions and designers. In addition to working with designers and sponsors on a number of initiatives, the event will seek to reduce its impact on the environment, including adjustments to the production of the shows and materials used throughout. Title sponsor Mercedes-Benz will bolster this message by highlighting its latest clean diesel technology, Bluetec.
"This is a great first step for the fashion industry here in L.A.," said Smashbox Studios co-founder Davis Factor. "California is on the forefront of green initiatives, and we are excited that we will be taking the lead here." Fern Mallis, senior vice president of IMG Fashion, added, "We are exploring many different options, from production to the runway. We will encourage the designers who have consistently shown with us to include some garments that promote sustainability and eco-friendly fibers."
Further details on this initiative will be announced in August and September. The Spring 2008 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios shows will be held October 14 to 18.
